Course Description:

In this course, learners will experience the recommended evidence-based interventions for the
lumbar spine. Users will recognize the more prevalent lumbar pathologies seen in
musculoskeletal practice and understand the proposed benefits to classifying lumbar conditions
through use of the Pain and Disability Drivers Management model. Techniques used to target the
primary impairment are explained, as well as the adjunctive techniques used to target the primary
impairment and secondary contributors and the techniques used to target global conditional
issues. Learners will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the
designations of pain and disability domains. Throughout the course, current research is presented
to provide learners with the proper tools for evidence-based management of these patients. This
course is part of a comprehensive clinical series covering examination and intervention for the
cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) and
lower (hip, pelvis, knee, foot, and ankle) quarters.
